Members Mikester Posted September 15, 2018 Members Share Posted September 15, 2018 Almost ready for paint on Neale's "White 7" Anyone have insight on the upper wing markings? Seems to be a lot of variety on the AVG birds, Nationalist China markings, no markings, over-painted British roundels. etc. The restored aircraft has Nationalist China markings but we know those are not always 100% accurate. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Hi Mike, sorry no pics or knowledge about the upper wing painting, but remembered I have some pictures made of that plane in Pensacola. I stored them in the walkaround-secton. https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/5671-p-40b-tomahawk-nas-pensacola/ Cheers Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinnfb Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 P-8194/white 7, Standard AVG colours DE/G/grey. Turned over to the 75th FS when the AVG disbanded and it's Chinese sun insignias were painted out in favour of USAAF stars on the upper left and lover right wings. It did retained both tigers and Adam and Eve's apple badge for some time with the 23 FG.. that sums it up to the picture above... :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinnfb Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Nice ! Is it only me that feels like the rudder was replaced / repaired or is it the light playing funny games with my eyes ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
